  1. Hey thanks for pointing out that J-15 owners have questionable judgement! I now see the error of my ways and am quickly donating my scrap wood guitar to my local High schools wood shop so they can turn it into a candy dish. Also my point regarding my lack of humidification was to show that these guitars won't self destruct any more or less than other guitars. Your opinions are just that.. But damn I'm just in awe of the superior guitars that you own. :)
  2. Nice looking piece of wood. Is it 'better"? That's subjective and I'm glad that I'm not hung up on "I gotta have that because of what others say and think" I wouldn't trade in my j-15 for anything else. It's a fine guitar tonally and in build quality. It is not an entry level guitar.
  3. It's clear now that your objective is to bash what you personally consider to be "inferior" Your opinions are noted, but still just "opinions. The fact is that price has little or no relevance once you get beyond certain features. A few years ago I had a short-scale Gibson IR AJ that I traded in for a solid wood hog Seagull and cash some back. The Seagull was the better guitar to my ears. The AJ cost three times as much but wasn't for me.
  4. I've had My J-15 for almost two years. I haven't properly humidified it(I really should) The humidity in my house is 20%. It hasn't fallen apart and it shows absolutely no indication of not being properly humidified. A couple of times I banged it with my heavy brass belt buckle, Not a ding on it. The walnut used is fine quality. You mentioned the tuners? What's wrong with them? They're well made and do what they're supposed to do which is accurately tune the guitar. You seem hooked on "more expensive better" "less expensive bad, inferior" people tend to do that to make themselves feel about their own stuff. I bought the J-15 because it sounded better to me that the other guitars in the shop that I played, including other Gibson's. I once owned a Martin cherry SWD which was a fantastic guitar. Is cherry an "inferior wood"? Saying that a J15 is an entry level guitar is incorrect and getting caught up in "this is the only way to cut wood" seems silly. And the price point is due to to curent supply and sustainability.
  5. I mic'd it with a Shure super 55 pointed at the 12th fret. Thanks for listening too!
  6. This is the fist song that I've recorded using the J-15 with my project in progress "The Defilers" It's an outtake and a rough mix but you get the idea.TWO A.M.
  7. The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind
